Georgiana Darcy’s Diary: Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice continued
By Anna Elliott / Genre: Historical Fiction / Rating: 4.2 out of 5 stars
“Anyone who met Darcy in “Pride and Prejudice” will love the continuation of her life story.”
The year is 1814, and it’s springtime at Pemberley. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy have married. But now a new romance is in the air, along with high fashion, elegant manners, scandal, deception, and the wonderful hope of a true and lasting love.
Shy Georgiana Darcy has been content to remain unmarried, living with her brother and his new bride. But Elizabeth and Darcy’s fairy-tale love reminds Georgiana daily that she has found no true love of her own. And perhaps never will, for she is convinced the one man she secretly cares for will never love her in return. Georgiana’s domineering aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, has determined that Georgiana shall marry, and has a list of eligible bachelors in mind. But which of the suitors are sincere, and which are merely interested in Georgiana’s fortune? Georgiana must learn to trust her heart–and rely on her courage, for she also faces the return of the man who could ruin her reputation and spoil a happy ending, just when it finally lies within her grasp.

Before I Forget
By Leonard Pitts / Genre: Literary Fiction / Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars
“The lucid and well-structured storyline bring the characters to life as if you can look into their souls and feel their anguish, pain, joys and sorrow.”
This powerful novel of three generations of black men bound by blood — and by histories of mutual love, fear, and frustration — gives author Leonard Pitts the opportunity to explore the painful truths of black men’s lives, especially as they play out in the fraught relations of fathers and sons. As 50-year-old Mo tries to reach out to his increasingly tuned-out son Trey (who himself has become an unwed teenaged father), he realizes that the burden of grief and anger he carries over his own estranged father has everything to do with the struggles he encounters with his son. Part road novel, part character study, and part social critique, and written in compulsively readable prose, Before I Forget is the work of a major new voice in American fiction. Pitts knows inside and out the difficulties facing black men as they grapple with the complexities of their roles as fathers.

“It has a good pace and kept me reading and wanting to know what happens next.”
We live in a world in which there are many occurrences that we do not understand.

What would their nights be like? Fearlings is a story of such a human.
